Those who were able to defeat the underwater beasts were honored with special tricorn hats. These highly-coveted prizes feature menacing tentacles and killer suction cups which served as a symbol of bravery. Pirates would wear these octopus pirate hats especially while sailing the stormy seas so they could show their clout to rival buccaneers and dangerous sea monsters who may be waiting to ambush your ships.
